Hi James, Number of consumers as 5 -6 and they are connected to ActiveMq topic. ActiveMq firing the messages (1-2 MB) every 2-15 sec initially when i start sender and ActiveMq. But when the time goes send API takes almost 60 sec to fire a message and then then it hangs after certain sends. We have increased the network connection to 100Mbit full duplex but still we are seeing this problem. I am trying to look at possible reasons for this to happen: 1) Is there any possibility that slow consumers makes this situation to happen? I am already using jms.useAsyncSend=true while connection. Are there any parameters that i can set to prevent the send to hang and make it faster as well if possible.
So using async send makes things go crazy fast on the producer side (as the caller doesn't block waiting for the send to actually occur). Until you get things sorted, you might wanna disable this as its giving a false impression of how fast your network is. Using async send, sending lots of data is a surefire way of getting slow consumer issues (where the consumers can't keep up with producers) or massive RAM usage on the broker side which will cause the producer to hang until the consumers catch up. FWIW in trunk / 4.2-SNAPSHOT there is spool-to-disk support so that the broker doesn't need to use up tons of RAM when you have bursts of fast producers and slow consumers.
2) Does the message size (1-2MB) have any casue for send to take long time?
The bigger the message, the longer it'll take to send & the more RAM used on the broker which could increase swapping on a low RAM box -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
